"Grandfather these are?" [Angelica]
"Your mounts." [King Alex]
Three dragons of the same species, they each come with different colors of Red, Blue and Green. These guys aren't Pokemon right? {1}
"We don't know how to ride them." [Angelica]
"Then let Regina and Kate teach you how." [King Alex]
"Aren't these hurricane dragons?!" [Maria]
Maria's eyes glittered when she saw the dragons. Maria is always like this whenever she sees something she likes or has interests in regarding from what she had read in books.
"Why are they called that way?" [Angelica]
"You didn't know?!" [Maria]
Here comes Maria's otaku mode... She should wear some glasses when explaining stuff.
"Hurricane dragons are born at the tropical end of the continent. They are named hurricane dragons, because they live at a place known as hurricane valley, where for 24/7 hurricanes rage on nonstop. Because of this, the dragons adapted by having much stronger wings and had more stamina to counter the extreme wind! Also, because of staying for most of their lives in the valley, they seem to be able to gauge the changes in wind no matter how little it is which in turn makes them very efficient at flying! They are known to be the fastest one's around and could also carry a decent amount of load! How did you even manage to get these dragons your majesty?!" [Maria]
She explained it too fast! Even I wasn't able to follow what she just said...
"You have some... interesting friends... Angelica." [King Alex]
"Heh... heh..." [Angelica]
I smiled wryly...
You're the one to talk! I've been infected with your genes!
"Good boy." [Blake]
Blake, caresses one dragon on the head. It's letting him pet it, I went to another and petted it. Wow they're really docile, Maria went to the third one and...
"Ahh?!!" [Maria]
It picked her up using its mouth at the hood of her robe and slid her on its back.
"Good dragon... nice dragon..." [Maria]
Maria is shivering, I almost forgot that she is terrified of heights. Giving her a dragon might be a bad idea.
"Maria, you can ride with me if you want." [Angelica]
"I-I'm o-k..." [Maria]
I sat on the back of my dragon. Blake, was already on his.
I heard the trainer speaking with grandfather. He said something about these dragons being born raised together. How nice, they're siblings.
The dragons looked at each other and made some weird sounds. Are they talking to one another? After they finished, my dragon looked back at me and smiled. It's smile was similar to that of the troll face meme...
"Hmm? May have just been my imaginatiooooooonnn?!!" [Angelica]
The three dragons, suddenly flew at the same time, taking us with them. The trainer was unable to hold the rope in time.
These guys are fast and I mean "really" fast!
"Whoa? slow down." [Blake]
Blake, managed to control his easily and my dragon went in formation with his. Heh, I'm his wingwoman.
"How do you make this stoppppppppppppp?!!" [Maria]
Maria, held tightly for dear life, as her ride whizzed passed us. Her dragon was like a jet with thrust vectoring technology. It does acrobatic maneuvers like it was nothing.
"Oh fuck! Oh fuck! OH FUUUUUUUUU!!!" [Maria]
Maria cusses as her dragon dived down. I haven't even heard her cuss before...
I feel bad for her... ever since we came here, all she had was traumatic experiences...
"We should help her..." [Angelica]
"Yeah." [Blake]
Like being in a dogfight we intercepted Maria.
After sometime~
When we got back to the castle, Maria's hair was a mess. She barfed the instant she got down...
The next day, Maria "taught" her dragon. We could make a movie out of it, titled "How to teach your dragon a lesson!" Starring Maria and the poor beast.
It's funny though, because afterwards, the other two dragons started to respect Maria too. Even though she hasn't anything to them.
In a few days Kate and Regina taught us how to fly them, but sometimes they had trouble keeping up with our speed.
~~~???~~~
"How was the reconnaissance?"
"We've discovered that the King had a female guest, who was an inventor."
"Inventor? What did she make?"
"She made this."
The servant revealed a small stove.
"A stove? Heck, what's so special about it?"
"Try touching the fire my liege..."
A hand touches the flame, it was unharmed.
"This is..."
"The inventor seemed to have used a magic crystal."
"A magic crystal? How?"
"It was recently discovered that you can input magic in them."
"What specific magic is this?"
"It is said that, only the inventor knew how to invoke this kind of magic..."
(Tch)
The man clicked his tongue.
"So it is a personal magic. What has he done with the inventor then?"
"It seems like his highness is trying to build up a business relationship with the inventor, he even gave her and her companions hurricane dragons."
"Hmf! Even I can provide something as cheap as that."
"Certainly my liege has the power to do so..."
"Heheh you flatter me."
"What is your next order my liege?"
"I want you to get in touch with this so called inventor. If you can, try to wave her over to our side. We can make use of that power if we can weaponize it."
"There are rumors about her already doing it."
"Oh?"
"The inventor is said to have participated in the defense of Cagban from the orc invasion. It is said that without her, the defense of the city would have been for naught. The rumors of the said weapon that she wielded, was even able to cut thick armor as it they were paper."
"O-ho, I want to know everything about this female inventor."
"Yes, my liege. I will now take my leave."
"I expect to hear great things upon your return."
